Ay up,
Just swooped the ignition switch on my 86 Defender. I all dash gauges and battery/brake warning light but it won't turn over.
During taking the dash out something shorted and the relay clicked loudly. Do you think this could be knackered,if so can I test it? The relay does click when the ignition is turned. Photos of wires and switch below.

That is the early type fuse box,I think the relay for the starter is behind it.Substitute another to test. Feel with a finger to see which one clicks.
 
Yeh it is.
There is only one relay which has a Renault logon on it? Whoever had it before me obviously had a play.
Thanks for the input Tottot, I'll give that a go and let you know
 
You need to check for power at the signal wire on the starter solenoid, then work back.
